Would love to know everyone's opinions.
There are 4 files.
Which do you like between File 1 and 2
and which do you like between File 3 and 4
So pick 1 of each and also tell my your favorite 2 out of the 4
Then Ill let you in on what they are.
Hopefully I didnt reveal the file names like I did before.
So have a listen fellas, and let the Phantom know.

I still cannot understand how anyone may compare the quality and the sound of a guitare pickup when the sound is overdriven like that.
In this case, you only test the the pedal and/or the amp connected, the way these electronics react to the pickup, not the pickups themselves.

there's not much point in testing, say, an EMG set clean since most people are going to use it distorted

I also completely disagree that you're only testing the pedal or amp distortion. A pickup which is voiced for heavy distortion is going to sound way better than a pickup which is more voiced for vintage tones, when dialled in with a heavy distortion. you're clearly testing the pickup too.
